According to Neil Mawston, a London-based analyst working for a Boston-based research company known as Strategy Analytics, Samsung is expected to have sold between 18 and 21 million smartphones in the second quarter, as opposed to Nokia’s 16.7 million and Apple’s 20.3 million. The three makers are in a really close race, although Nokia is on the decline while both Android and the iPhone are growing.
This new prediction is due to the fact that Samsung’s Android devices have been selling very aggressively in some regions, according to Mawston:

dear wake up - check SAR value of Nokia phones (and compare with Samsung phones) - if you know that you will stop using any Nokia phone in life

SAR value and samsung!!! funny. They dont even test a phone properly before delivering to market. European standards are the best and Nokia is the best brand in following it.

Well shiv you could be right for the work that you do, but it may not be applicable for professionals who require communication on the go
years before apple started, companies like sony-ericsson, nokia, motorola, were all producing phones that had loads of multimedia features - but totally unrefined. they also were evolutionary - they did not wait for the ideal hardware to come by. apple started when the hardware was at a tipping point - beefy enough to run a full fledged operating system optimized for mobility, with enough ram/ cpu power and flash storage. of course they had a captive bunch of apple fans who would buy anything apple threw at them - that was highly critical for a box office success.
apple copied loads of features from all and sundry - improved upon it and have claimed it as their own!
The article is half heated attempt in doing comparison. Apple is way ahead in dishing out tech products starting from smartphone. These finest techies are creating segments and take a head start from their launches. The software and hardware just gel together to give you a mind blowing experiences,nothing of that sorts can be found in the "copy-cats". It is "working together concept" in apple products that make it all the more appealing.

the only segment they created was an ipad whose time had come. it was sheer timing for which they deserve credit. there were tablets before. if you see, they have had only one product which they have built on - that's ipod touch, which they made into a phone and then into ipad.

Macbook, Ipad, Iphone, Ipod.... apple has ruled the industry by sheer innovations rather than publicity gimmicks.
The article is so senseless that it would go to the level of saying that apple used a battery which was used by motorola 40 years back. Common there are certain things that no one including apple will not be able to change. Apple is a company that launches quality product that are premium priced. It's up to the user. One can compare this to Korean/japanese electronics products. However positioned Japanese products are definitely more reliable than Korean or Chinese. Only if one uses android based phones or tablets they will be able to say the amount of bugs it has. But if apple gives something in their products they work as expected. Why compare apple with an orange.?

b'coz, oranges are eaten by masses and apples by elites. Hence, the diff between the no of androids sold vs the no of iphones.

which is going to be different pretty soon. androids will rule the roost, they've already been busy smothering apple in sheer number of activations. so much, that steve jobs said google is lying, now he's groveling and trying to sue android into oblivion instead of competing! (same with the other losers from redmond)
What Windows did to Mac OS in the 1980s, Android will do it more convincingly to iOS. Mac, better get smarter this time with your so called and unnecessarily hyped smartphones.
